GolfStatus - your website services and support staff ROCK!
We have nothing but fantastic things to say about GolfStatus and all of the staff we have had the privilege of working with. Overall, they make sure you are taken care of and feel like a top priority to them. I cannot recommend them enough!
PROS4 key points for us about this software: 1) The customer service is on point for GolfStatus. I think any question we have had has been answered within a 10 minute window and the staff has went above and beyond to make sure we understand things and are taken care of. 2) The appearance of the website: the interface is clean and direct. It's pretty simple to understand for users (and once you get the hang of it, the back end is pretty good as well!) 3) Setting things up: This is made easy for almost anyone to do. We love the features! 4) Payment: The site being tied to Stripe has made our lives so much easier! I cannot begin to talk about how many hours the website has saved us as a team in organizing the event.
CONSThere really are no big cons we can think of. If I was nitpicking it all, I would say there are some reports that could be easier to pull / run for the event -but that's really nitpicking at it.

Alleviate Your Admin Duties with GS!
Overall experience was top-notch! The customer support as an admin was very hands-on as we prepped for our first event using GS. I loved that printouts were available already on how to use the app for scorekeeping. It made it easy for us to "sell" our participants on using the app over a paper scorecard.
PROSI like that it's a one-stop shop with respect to scorekeeping and registration. Some sponsored items were easily ordered with GS's help, but I would appreciate even more involvement in this aspect of event planning. One of the major headaches I experience is ordering sponsored items off of 3rd party sites, proofing artwork, ensuring timely production and delivery, fronting the money, and requesting reimbursement from the sponsor. Lots of coordination! I appreciated the experience we had with GS and our pin flag sponsor, for example. Once the sponsorship slot was filled, all that was needed was the logo and payment to cover the expense. GS took care of the rest (thank you!).
CONSAs a person crunching the numbers and keeping tabs on all of our donors/contributions, it would be helpful if there was a download that has a comprehensive list of all participants (regardless of their classification) to see how are proceeds were derived from. Even having 1 tab on a download contain contact names, email addresses, package(s) purchased, and purchase amounts would have saved me some time grabbing information from different sources.
Reason for choosing GolfStatus
BPT is more of a means to collect sales on an event. As far as I know, it doesn't have the capabilities of interacting with participants other than accepting credit card payments. GS has 2 functions in my eyes -- a merchant processing platform and a scoring platform.
Reasons for switching to GolfStatus
Our golf committee was attempting to make back-of-the-house responsibilities more streamlined, which I think was mostly accomplished with GS.

A Huge Help To Our Event And Our Cause
Great software and tool, OUTSTANDING customer care/support. I've used other tools and pulled together my own tools (Constant Contact, Paypal, MailChimp...), GolfStatus made my life so much easier. I am a fan and loyal customer for life. [SENSITIVE CONTENT] was an outstanding liaison from an account perspective and [SENSITIVE CONTENT] was always there when we needed him for administrative/website support. Really impressed with the tool, but LOVED the support from start to finish.
PROSThe software was easy to use as the administrator and easy to use for our golfers and donors. Not complicated.
CONSI would like to get the sponsors more "eyeball space", perhaps on the front page. I know the Tech Sponsor is a big deal for GolfStatus, but I don't like that we have to go to a separate tab to see the sponsors.I also would like to be able to load my marketing list and create an outreach tool via GolfStatus - I use Mailchimp, I'd rather get rid of that and have it all integrated into the same platform.
Reasons for switching to GolfStatus
GolfStatus is a really robust/integrated tool (I'd like to have it also replace my use of Mailchimp for outreach) and the fact that they handle all the back-office integration and front-end website work is just fantastic. Very easy to use!

Makes the impossible possible
I don't know the firt thing about golf tournaments and GolfStatus makes it possible to run a successful event. The website is super user friendly and literally does it all for you. We've used GolfStatus for our event for the last two years and it's been wonderful!
PROSFirst, the customer service is outstanding. Any question or problem I have, they help quickly and efficiently. I love that it's a one stop shop - register for a team, purchase add ons, sign up as a sponsor. I love the ability to look at payout reports. The options of how to view and download the data is great.
CONSSponsors are asked up upload their images but they aren't high enough quality to use for signage. This means we have to ask for another logo from our sponsors. There is also no good way to download the images from GolfStatus. Last year we had the complaint that the website didn't work properly with browsers other than Chrome. As a Chrome user, I didn't notice and I don't believe we had complaints this year, but I wanted to note it in case it still needs addressed.
Reason for choosing GolfStatus
Using Formstack meant I had to create all the forms from scratch. GolfStatus was plug and play, flawless!

Love GolfStatus!
Wonderful! Thank you for providing excellence service at a very low cost. It's so helpful for non-profit organizations like ours.
PROSGolfStatus has made executing our charity golf tournament so much easier! Pros: Quick customer service and assistance when needed. Also like the "donate" button on the website; we used this as a QR code for our Raise the Paddle during our dinner and we raised over $6,000 using it!

Great Software to steam line golf tournament planning
The biggest problem GolfStatus solved was automating the registration and payment process. It helped make that a lot less manual and alleviate the stress of chasing payments. It also made the event a lot more professional in my opinion.
PROSThe best features of the website were being able to register and pay online easily and be able to track teams, sponsorships, etc. I really liked the reports that were easy to generate such as scorecards, cart signs, player lists and more that saved me time on the back end. It was a nice feature to have the ability to pass on processing fees to participants so it does not take away from money for the fundraiser. I also cannot say enough about the customer service. Every time I had a question my account manager (Paul) promptly got back to me and was very helpful. In our post-event follow up, I shared by feedback and ideas to enhance the website further and it seemed like a lot of my ideas were already in the works so GolfStatus is constantly looking to improve and add new features such as invoicing, easier logo uploading, etc. that will make this an even better product in the future.
CONSI wish there was a section I could add notes such as "paid by check, comping tee-sign, etc." I think some of the challenges for me was that there were still a good amount of people that wanted to pay check so I had to manage two systems (GolfStatus and a Google spreadsheet) which was time consuming. With the ability to send invoices in the future, hopefully that will be solved. I would like to see a tab where you are able to manage tee-signs in the future (i.e. company name, logo received, sign created, etc.)

Great for Fundraising
I use golf status once a year to help organize our golf outing which raises money for a few different local nonprofits. The management software is very easy to use and the customer service when I had questions was more than helpful and quick. It is easy for our golfers to use as well and a few simple clicks and they are registered!
CONSA few of the features on the management side didn't work as well as last year. Seems to be just a glitch. Like any software the fees are always no fun but it makes for such a smooth registration process the day of when everyone has already paid online. It's worth it.

2020 Tournament
Very attentive when our event was getting close and awesome about checking in from time to time to see what they could help with. Using golf status to help in processing credit card payment and organizing cart signs and score cards made the day a lot smoother for everyone involved. Online scoring brought on a lot of fun talking between groups as the day went on.
PROSThe ease in registering teams and individuals, as well as being able to offer "touchless" payment for extras and add on's like Mulligans. Loved the way that the software flighted everything for us and listed out the winners and places for each.
CONSWas a little confusing in having the scoring update at the end of everyone's round.

[sensitive content hidden] and the entire staff are stellar. I could not ask for better customer service. They respond to you within minutes.

Driving in the digital world.
Game changer. Golf Status allowed my golf tournament to fundraise quicker AND easier than before. Gone are the days of sending out forms and printing. Having a digital footprint for an event is a true saver as a fundraiser.
PROSHaving an "always on" brochure or website allowed my event to constantly be open to new and existing patrons. Having the ability to wake up, and have someone look at your event and also register, because they were able to immediately understand and know what was happening, without having to call or email anyone.
CONSOverall it was super easy to understand and maneuver. If I had to say one thing i would just like as a manager of the software push through payment when I wanted. Instead of having to get a hold of someone at the company.

Fantastic. [sensitive content hidden] and the team were there every step of the way. They were supportive and quick to respond to our questions. We will use GolfStatus next year and we are letting others know about it. Thank you, [sensitive content hidden] !
PROSThe software enabled us to focus on the most important part of our event planning - promoting our event. GolfStatus takes care of time consuming details so that we could focus on the golfer's experience. The sponsors liked the visibility and the golfers liked the live scoring and leaderboard.
CONSThe printable golfer lists worked but it was a bit challenging for the people handling registration as the details needed were in three different documents. It would be great to have an event day list that included the teams and codes in one place.

Rehberg Charity Golf Tournament's use of GolfStatus

I worked directly with both [SENSITIVE CONTENT] and they were amazing. They set me up incredibly well and walked me through everything that I needed to know for the tournament.

I used it a couple of times leading up to the tournament and I had answers within minutes of me asking the questions. I also loved the ability to see all the sponsors for my tournament in one place.

Our overall experience has been excellent. Technical support has been really great - responsiveness, accuracy, etc. We intend to use GolfStatus again in 2023.
PROSThe best feature of the software is that we can upload sponsor logos on the site to use for promotional purposes. But better than that is the technical support received which isn't really about the software but very much worth mentioning. It feels like your GolfStatus support person is part of your team.
CONSWhat I like least is that unique player names are not required for registration. Sometimes we end up with teams that have the same name listed for 4 players right before our event and need to scramble to get players names/emails.
